Sylvie only nodded in agreement with the elf’s observations, her brows pulling together just a touch. He wasn’t wrong. The Blight was changing — corrupting like never before. The Wardens knew this, but the Hounds were the ones to sniff it out. That was what pricked her — his earlier comment about the Blight’s behaviour. Most outsiders knew shit all about it, not nearly enough to catch on to its patterns. But this strange, pale-eyed wanderer had. To her, that wasn’t nothing. How much did he know — and how?

He continued on before she could question him. As he kept talking, Sylvie felt a part of herself wither away.

A box, terrorizing a village. Haunted, possibly blighted. Because of course it would be.

The elf looked past her. She turned, following his gaze over her shoulder. At least he might be telling the truth, Sylvie thought as she watched those shrinking figures disappear into the distance. Had they fled too late, the darkspawn might’ve caught up to them, and there would be more than just  their corpses at Sylvie’s feet. Wherever they’d come from couldn’t have been better off.

Still, spirits, demons — that was the sort of shit she kept her nose out of if she could. Not that she was green to it. She’d had her fill of the occult back with the Inquisition, and knew better than to go looking for it. She would’ve let it go; wished him luck and walked the other way. But then he said the b-word, and that made it her problem.

She exhaled through her nose — a tired, bracing sigh.

“I haven’t, but something tells me I should.” The least she could do was scope out the area, just to see if blight and bad-tempered spirits were the worst of their worries. Then she could report back to Deshar. Sylvie bent to pick her shield up from where she’d let it drop, letting out a quiet “oof” as she came up, then slung it over her shoulder. “Suppose you wouldn’t mind the company? Might get you home faster.”

Haunted eyes slip from breathing company to deceased monstrosity, studying the malformations, the corruption's clear imprint - Blight really was consuming everything in their surroundings, spreading and poisoning at every opportunity, a leech on the very life of the earth beneath. In silence does he contemplate just how long the area in which they stand has until it, too, is consumed by the darkness; the very venom of the blight forever continuing to seep into every crack in the soil, every rock, every water source and unfortunate creature.

It is not the first spawn he has seen, but it is the closest he has been to have a good look and akin to a good student, he doesn't pass up the opportunity to learn. He doesn't crouch, doesn't get too close, but his eyes linger for some few moments longer ere he decidedly returns his attention to his unknown company.

"The rate in which it is mutating is different to normal." Atris may not have been around during the last Blight, but he had read and studied such as extensively as he had been able while under his teachings in the Necropolis. The way the Blight altered a person's being, how it sank into the marrow of bones and slowly shut down organs and life forces was a studied media within Nevarra - but it now felt as if everything discovered was now entirely obsolete. This new blight... it changed too swiftly, too often.

"Speaking or any variety of intellegent spawn would be... disastrous." Imagine - - if they could organise themselves, think far more intelligently than their idle instinct just to kill and corrupt. Though the situation was dire already, it would be twice as so if cleverness became involved.

Still, he has to derail his own thoughts and return to the present lest he be stuck within them for the next hour or so-. His cold eyes return to company, expression offering a small smile, though entirely brief; the appreciation for concern evident but brushed aside alongside the soft motion of a hand through the air;

"As much as I would prefer to head back the way I have come- - I am unfortunately here to collect a reportedly haunted music box in a nearby village. The spirit within is unfriendly at best - - if it was left to be corrupted by the Blight, then--- " He didn't feel the need to finish his sentence, the hint of absolute danger was enough in what little he had uttered.

"The sooner I find it, the sooner I can leave." That the Watch had specifically chosen him, a priest, to head out and collect such an object was telling enough to Atris that the spirit in question was one that may pose some difficulty. Getting it back to Nevarra safely where it can be more closely tended to in the vast vaults of the Necropolis was a stretched awkwardness at best - - - but he would manage well enough. Indeed, it would have been easier without the blight but one couldn't choose their situations.

Only briefly, when he raises his gaze, does he see the near invisible silhouettes of those already passed to the other side fleeing from the east, down the road they stand upon themselves and thus, he now knows which direction he needs to head. If they had fled from the east, then his money was on the village being there.

"Have you been toward the east, by chance? I believe that is the direction I need to go. I do suppose everywhere is just as bad."

i still cackle about that candlehop haunting bc i can picture sylvie taking one look at it and turning around promptly like “i’m out.”

[blyghthound]

thinking about the enemies sylvie prefers to fight in order of most to least preferable:

darkspawn (23 years of experience, feels like she knows them like the back of her hand. still unpredictable at times but familiar.)

venatori/mercenary warriors (tough opponents but within her range of expertise)

venatori/merc rogues (fast motherfuckers catch her off guard but lowkey kinda fun to fight)

venatori/merc mages (can be hard to close the distance, magic is always so unpredictable, fucks her up the most)

deepstalkers/animals/creatures (deepstalkers are familiar but can be overwhelming, often outnumbered, but their instincts can be somewhat gauged + are maybe distractable)

antaam (always knocks the wind out of her, usually exhausting, brutal battles. enjoys getting a rise out of them though. wants one of their flamethrowers.)

undead (weird but still tangible enough to feel like shes sinking her blade into/breaking something)

demons (fuck despair demons. fuck them to hell and back.)

hauntings (why are they so strong)

golems/sentinel guardians (WHAT IS SHE SUPPOSED TO STAB)

mutated darkspawn (re: horrors of hormak. strong, wildly unpredictable, terrifying.)

haunted inanimate objects (looking at you, motherfucking candlehop)

⏰ - Does your muse feel like they need to do things quickly or do they take their time?

efficiently and effectively is the only answer i have for this. some things require more patience, but she's partial to immediate action. whatever gets the best results depending on how important the task is to her.

🌎 - Does your muse want to change the world? How would they go about it?

not really. this makes me think of how or why sylvie is so committed to what the wardens do beyond just attaching some kind of meaning to her life. as of her present, i don't think she believes or maybe ever did believe that the wardens would eradicate the blight. to her, it's something that'll always exist and come in waves, but the wardens are the only people who can contain it. and that's enough for her.

there's so much that is just. out of her control. and i think she's accepted much of it, but not the stuff she feels like she can tackle, with the right strategy/resources. like the blight, and the "new blight" that warden ramesh (and later herself) encountered. for a while it all felt out of her control when she got kicked from the wardens, but when she was approached to work with the hounds to specifically look into it, it gave her the help and hope she needed to feel like something could be done.

but things like elven racism for example, she doesn't really carry the ambition to do something about it beyond maybe calling out racism among the wardens and giving people shit for it. it's something that feels too entrenched in the societies she's been a part of and any notion of elven unity/an effective resistance feels futile (also, considering she was alive when the purge happened in halamshiral, that cemented these feelings for her. however the shadow dragons do give her something to think about in regards to fighting the long fight. she will never be an activist, but her mind might change about whether it's worth the effort at all.)

i hope this made sense lmao

🎭 - How does your muse handle their emotions? Do they bottle them up or pour them out as soon as they start to feel?

she does bottle them up in front of others but lets things go in private. sylvie's actually a big crier — cries when she's frustrated, sad, angry — but she's learned to keep things contained through both trauma and emotional discipline & only feels safe enough to let it out when she's on her own. otherwise she just drinks to cope or those feelings end up being communicated in a sort of detached, dry-ish manner.

she does have a limit though, and once it's reached usually her feelings are just. really big. like they've always been since she was a kid.

one thing that will always make her cry on the spot, no way to hold things back, is 1) losing people she loves (understandably lol) and 2) seeing others lose their loved ones. even if it's in battle, she'll fight through the tears. just as an example, i always thought that if she's present when bellara loses cyrian again, sylvie's a sniffling mess in the background. she would be trying to contain herself as much as possible because obviously, that's not her moment to be sad, but seeing that kind of grief is so hard for her. just hits so close to home. she can be very sympathetic to folks going through what she has, over and over.

🌺 - Does your muse have a favorite flower? Why do they like it?

honestly, no. if sylvie has a favourite flower, it'll be for sentimental reasons rather than personal preference. something that reminds her of a loved one, an important time in her life, etc. but she doesn't have a favourite of her own accord.

🔗 - What are your muse’s standards for meaningful relationships? How quickly do they form relationships like these?

if you asked sylvie this she'd say "just don't be a fucking cunt." her standards aren't really that high, but she does value consistency. people who stick around when the going gets tough, who don't ditch when she's difficult and are willing to call her out on it, or fess up to their own bullshit. back up their words with action. accountability, loyalty, a spine, and then beneath that, compassion — even if it's the tough kind — pretty much seals the deal. she doesn't need moral perfection and she can deal with dishonesty to an extent. she just needs to see that you're genuine about doing your best no matter how or how many times you slip up, as well as showing up for each other when the need arises. a sense of humour about the dark/fucked up shit they're dealing with always helps.

it's varies with how quickly she builds up these relationships — sometimes things click right away, but others have taken time to build trust and a rapport. i guess the good thing is that she's not super rigid about it — you're not just "out" if you don't meet her criteria right away. she expects people to be shitty, to mess up or be selfish, but what earns her respect is just trying to be a little better. to do some good, to do different. it comes with time, just like it did with her. she still considers herself an ass, but she's an ass that's trying her best. kind of likes her friends the same way.
